The Largest Artesian We'll in the
 World.

An artesian well, now being bor- ed in St. Augustine, upsets many preconceived opinions about Flori- da. The well, winch is twelve inches Tn diameter, is the largest in the world, and by actual meas urement flows at the rate of 7,0O0- 900 gallons per twenty-four hours. The wei; is now 760 feet below the surface, and is being deepened every day. A three-inch cable of the strongest material Is used to hold the immense drill which is be ing used to sink the well. The old fashioned idea that Florida was of Il coral formation has of late years been vigorously disputed. The boring of this well proves that an immense depth of coral underlies the State, and samples of the ma terial have been saved at every stage of depth, and for the last 550 feet the drill has been going through coral rock. Another interesting fact is developed, that the lower the well is drilled the higher the tenn perature of the water becomes. It is now about 80 degrees Fahreu- heit. C. D. Special.
